My bike's been stolen!...
10/29/2006
I'm really pissed off!...I never had any problem while leaving it for hours at the station and the supermarket, and it was stolen at the student village, right in front of the window of another student!...
It's not a matter of money (I was renting it 5000 yen, that is around 40 dollars, for 3 months...), but I don't like to know that this kind of thing happens in Japan too.

According to the Japanese people, it happens VERY often: obviously they don't know how it is in other countries, because a bicycle wouldn't stay more than an hour in Paris in such conditions!
That doesn't change my overall opinion about security in Japan, but still it's not anymore what it used to be...too much western influence maybe?...

As my previous post implied, my posts are going to become less frequent and probably shorter too. After my first week, I confirm that the rhythm is fast and sustained! In brief, I am clearly below the average level when it comes to vocabulary and kanji (Japanese ideograms). Some of the students in my class have already passed the JLPT level 2...
